Professional mediation services

Jill Murphy, Director
I am a nationally accredited (‘advanced’ level) family, workplace and elder mediator. I work with clients in resolving disputes through mediation, restorative practices and coaching services. I am also a Director of Open Road Consulting which provides leadership and team development services to build trust in the workplace.
Prior to working as a mediator, I worked extensively in the government and community sectors for over 20 years and hold a Bachelor of Economics, Masters of Industrial Relations, and Diploma in Family Dispute Resolution.
My interests include supporting newly arrived refugee families through the CRISP program (https://refugeesponsorship.org.au) and coaching soccer teams of all ages and abilities. I live in the northern suburbs of Melbourne with my partner, three young adult children and dog Pepe.
Services
Elder Mediation
Supporting families and aged care providers with sensitive conversations about care, housing, and finances. Elder mediation is a recognised and accredited process that helps families and older people navigate stress, conflict, and uncertainty. It provides a safe and respectful way to resolve disputes, maintain relationships, and ensure the voice and wishes of the older person are central to decision-making.
Workplace Mediation
Workplace Mediation aims to resolve conflicts, build stronger relationships, and enhance team dynamics. It helps organisations foster a healthier and more collaborative work environment through a variety of tailored solutions. Other services include Facilitated Conversations, Leadership Coaching, Restorative Group Practices, Team Culture Reviews, and Workplace Investigations.
Family Mediation
Separation and family conflict can be overwhelming, especially when children are involved. Family Mediation provides a safe, respectful space to work out parenting arrangements that are practical, fair, and most importantly, in the best interests of your children.
